Compare your options
Everyday & plush lawns
Compare real samples in sunlight. Blade height, density and thatch change both the look and the feel.
Pet-focused spaces
Discuss cleanup, drainage and infill together. Pet turf still needs rinsing and regular care.
Putting greens
A practice green needs its own contours, cup layout and turf, so we price it after we see the space.
Care & upkeep
Rake off debris and brush it up now and then. Turf gets warm in full sun, so a quick spray cools it in minutes.
What affects the price?
The turf you choose, ground preparation, pet drainage and tight access set the price. Putting greens are priced at your visit.
See the price guide →Common questions
Can I combine turf and pavers?
Yes. Measure each material separately, then plan the edge between them and where water will go.
Is it maintenance-free?
No. It avoids mowing, but debris, pet cleanup and occasional brushing still need attention.
Patios & walkways
Paver, concrete and stone surfaces for outdoor dining, seating and garden paths.
Compare your options
Concrete pavers
A modular surface with a choice of laying patterns, colors and borders. Individual units can be lifted for localized repairs.
Poured concrete
A continuous surface with planned joints. Compare a simple broom finish with decorative textures.
Porcelain & natural stone
Outdoor-rated finishes with the base to support them, and clean edges where they meet the lawn or the house.
Care & upkeep
Sweep off grit and leaves and hose down spills. We tell you whether your finish should be sealed, since not every surface needs it.
What affects the price?
Your quote covers demolition, digging, base preparation and drainage as well as the finished paving. Driveways are priced separately.
See the price guide →Common questions
Are pavers the same as cement?
No. Pavers are separate units; concrete is a material made with cement, aggregate and water. A poured slab and concrete pavers are different surface systems.
Can you price a driveway with the patio range?
Not online. A driveway carries a car, so the base is different and we price it at your visit.
Pool decks & surrounds
Paving around the pool, with room to walk, relax and reach the equipment.
Compare your options
Pavers & concrete
Compare texture and joints, and feel the samples wet and dry.
Travertine & porcelain
Cool underfoot and easy to clean, on a base built for the pool edge.
Coping & transitions
The pool edge, deck drainage and any steps are planned before we order material.
Care & upkeep
Hose it down and keep the drains clear. If a paver settles or an edge chips, call us and we fix it.
What affects the price?
The estimator subtracts the pool or planters from the paving area. Coping, plumbing and pool fence fixings are priced at your visit.
See the price guide →Common questions
Will the pool count toward the square footage?
No. Draw the outer area, then use Exclude to take the pool out. The paving area updates as you go.
Can deck work affect a pool fence?
Yes. If a fence post has to move, we plan it with your pool fence installer before work starts.
Complete-yard design
Turf, paving and planting planned together, whether you build the whole yard at once or in stages.
Compare your options
A lawn and a place to sit
Balance open lawn with a patio sized for the furniture you intend to use.
Planting as the frame
Use planting areas to soften boundaries and create structure without losing the space you need.
Build in phases
Decide the end layout first so an early patio or path does not block a later improvement.
Care & upkeep
Pick a level of upkeep you can live with. A smaller planting bed or a simpler mix of materials often beats a showpiece that needs constant attention.
What affects the price?
The estimator prices turf and paving. Planting, sprinklers, lighting, structures and design work are priced at your visit.
See the price guide →Common questions
Can I see a whole-yard concept?
Yes. The whole-yard look in the visualizer shows the overall feel. Planting and lighting in the preview are priced at your visit.
Do I have to do everything at once?
No. Many yards go in over two or three stages. We plan the order so early work never has to be redone.

View project →Turf & paver patio
A patchy lawn and small patio replaced with turf and a larger seating area.
What needed to change
The patio was too small for a seating group, and the lawn had bare patches.
What changed
New turf, a wider paver patio and a defined planting edge make room for both play and seating.
Project priorities
- Retain the established tree and house openings
- Give seating its own surface
- Keep the lawn-to-patio transition simple
Materials & details
- Artificial turf
- Concrete paver patio
- Retained planting edge
Pool deck & lawn
Paver paths around the pool connect to an open lawn and planted borders.
The goal
Room for loungers and a walking route without paving the entire yard.
The result
Curved paving follows the lawn edge, leaving room for planting and access around the pool.
Project priorities
- Keep a continuous route around the water
- Exclude the water and planting from paving quantities
- Coping, drainage and pool fence fixings
Materials & details
- Pool-deck paving
- Lawn transition
- Planting layout

Frequently asked questions
Can I see turf and pavers together?
Yes. Choose the whole-yard look to see both in one image, then measure turf and paving separately for the price. Plants, lighting and design work are priced at your visit.
Can I leave the pool out of the price?
Yes. Outline the surrounding area, select “Exclude pool or obstacle,” then draw the pool inside that outline. The same tool can exclude planters, trees or structures from turf and hardscape.
Which surface works best around a pool?
Compare texture, heat in direct sun, upkeep and looks, not color alone. We confirm the product is right for wet, barefoot areas and check drainage and coping at your visit.
Will the finished yard match the preview exactly?
Close, not exact. Look at real samples before you choose a color or texture, since sunlight and installation details change the finished look.
What can change the estimate?
Concrete removal, drainage, grading, tight access, small areas and specialty products can change the price. Anything we cannot price online is flagged and priced at your visit.

Meet Elena Marlow
Founder
“Start with how you want to use the yard.”
Elena founded Alder & Arc in 2016, working on residential lawns and patios in Orange County. The company grew to include coordinated turf, paving and planting plans.
She starts every project by asking what your household needs: space for the dog, a bigger table, shade or a path to the pool. Then she brings real samples and a written scope to the design visit.

Homeowner reviews
★★★★★
“The crew pulled out our dead lawn, built the base and laid the turf in two days. Our dog hasn't found a way to dig it up, and the patio edge is dead straight.”

“Elena moved the patio a few feet so we could keep our orange tree, and the pavers drain toward the lawn exactly like she said they would.”
